Orbost Line[edit]

Isn't this line called the Orbost Line, not the Bairnsdale Line? The latter, as far as I was aware is the name of the operational line - and as such the line diagram should be on that page. Is this the case? JRG 23:35, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well we currently have 3 overlapping articles, this one, the Gippsland railway line, Victoria and the Orbost railway line, Victoria. I think we need to crop it back to 2 only. Personally, even though the Gippsland article says it encompasses the whole region of lines, I think that should focus on the line to Orbost and the Orbost stub be incorporated into that. The Bairnsdale article can focus on the current VLine service. Nomadtales 01:25, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The Gippsland railway line article is supposed to be about all the lines in the gippsland area main line and any branch lines, then after that each seperate line has an article on it, so the gippsland line page gives a breif history on each line then with a link to the full article, bairnsdale and orbost are two seperate lines in gippsland so each should have their own article then be covered in the main gippsland article, does this make more sense? --Dan027 11:28, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I see your point but this is not what Rail transport in Victoria#Gippsland line is implying and this links to Gippsland railway line, Victoria. There is a separate section on there for the South Gippsland line. Also that article should be renamed Gippsland railway lines (plural). Nomadtales 01:22, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merger?[edit]

Would anybody oppose merging Traralgon railway line, Victoria with Bairnsdale railway line, Victoria, or both into the Orbost railway line, Victoria article? The one railway line doesn't need five articles (including the Pakenham and Dandenong triplification ones), and the Traralgon/Bairnsdale articles are just a basic list of stations which passenger services run to and some basic details. --Somebody in the WWW (talk) 09:22, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
